HURRICANE—Peach Days, “A Celebration of our Heritage,” is once again drawing near and will be held Friday and Saturday for all, with some advance entries, setup and judging on Thursday. Be sure to bring your appetite to Hurricane, food booths with all your favorite mouth-watering options will be on hand as well .
Peach Days wouldn’t be complete without the rodeo, entertainment, parade, Pioneer Corner, 12K fun run, and the peach cook-off. The Hurricane Canal Trek, quilt show, and a wide variety of booths displaying commercial and homemade goods will also be included.
